Yeah, no sweat.. you need to set your limits... I'd bet a hundred bucks that
your coredumpsize limit is set to 0, which prevents programs from dumping
core.. if you're using tcsh, it's "limit coredumpsize <size>".. in bash,
it's ulimit.. Set it to the maximum size you want a coredump to be.. I've
got mine set at 10megs... if you're not worried about size, you can do limit
coredumpsize unlimited..

Cheers
